Fuel economy at a glance

These are the EPA's official ratings for the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST. The numbers come from a standardised laboratory test cycle and are the same figures that appear on the window sticker of every new car. Real-world mileage varies with driving style, weather, fuel quality, and how heavily loaded the car is.

Combined MPG is a 55/45 weighted blend of the city and highway test cycles. The EPA uses it as the single number you can compare across the entire dataset, including hybrids and EVs (which use the equivalent MPGe figure).

Combined MPG 80 MPG
City MPG 80 MPG
Highway MPG 80 MPG

How the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST compares

The 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST returns 80 combined MPG. Cars in the Compact Cars class for the same model year average 34.2 MPG, which puts this car ahead of the class average by about 134%.

The most efficient car in the Compact Cars class for the 2022 model year is the Porsche Taycan GTS at 83 MPG. The bar chart below puts the Porsche Taycan GTS ST alongside the class best and the class average so you can see the full picture.

For broader context, the average new car of the 2022 model year (across all classes) returns 30.7 MPG. Larger vehicles pull the all-cars average down, so do not use that figure on its own to judge a small car or a hybrid. The full list of the most efficient cars of the 2022 model year is on its own page.

Annual fuel cost across driving patterns

The headline annual fuel cost the EPA publishes assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year and a fuel mix of 55% city and 45% highway. The dollar figure is calculated using the EPA's current reference price for electricity, which is $0.15/kilowatt-hour. EPA updates that reference periodically rather than tracking live pump prices, so treat it as a window-sticker estimate rather than today's pump number.

The table below scales the EPA's number to three common driving patterns. The combined MPGe and the reference electricity price stay constant, only the annual mileage changes. Charging at home rather than at a public DC fast charger usually lowers the real cost below the EPA's published figure.

Driving pattern Estimated annual fuel cost
Light driver, 7,500 miles per year $475
Average driver, 15,000 miles per year $950
Heavy driver, 25,000 miles per year $1,583

Specifications

The 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST is a fully electric vehicle. It is powered by 194 and 360 kw acpm. The EPA rates its driving range at 233 miles.

Engine, transmission, and drivetrain together drive most of the variation in fuel economy across trims. A larger engine moves the car with less effort but burns more fuel. A turbo lets a small engine punch above its weight, often without much MPG penalty. All-wheel drive adds traction and weight, and usually costs a couple of MPG compared with two-wheel drive of the same engine.

Common questions about the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST

Quick answers to the questions people most often search for when looking up the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST.

  • Is the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST fuel efficient?
    Yes. The 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST returns 80 combined MPG, which beats the average car in the Compact Cars class for the same model year by about 134%.
  • What MPG does the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST get?
    The EPA rates the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST at 80 combined MPG, 80 MPG in city driving, and 80 MPG on the highway. Real-world numbers depend on your driving style, the weather, and how loaded the car is.
  • How much does it cost to fuel a 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST per year?
    The EPA estimates an annual fuel cost of $950 for the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST. That figure assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year, a 55% city and 45% highway split, and the EPA's published average fuel price for the rated fuel grade.
  • Does the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST use gasoline?
    No. The 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST is fully electric and runs on grid electricity. The MPGe figure on this page converts electricity use into a gasoline-equivalent so you can compare it directly to a regular car.
  • How much CO₂ does the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST emit?
    The 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST produces zero tailpipe emissions because it runs entirely on electricity. The full carbon footprint of charging it depends on how the electricity on your local grid is generated, which varies a lot from one state to another.
  • What is the difference between the city and highway MPG of the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST?
    City driving returns 80 MPG and highway driving returns 80 MPG. A flat (or city-better) split is the signature of a hybrid or electric drivetrain, where regenerative braking recovers energy that would otherwise be lost in stop-start city traffic.
  • What motor does the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST use?
    The 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST uses 194 and 360 kW ACPM. Electric motors do not have a displacement or cylinder count the way a combustion engine does, so EPA reporting focuses on the motor type and battery system instead.
  • What transmission and drivetrain does the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST have?
    The 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST comes with a automatic (a2) transmission and all-wheel drive. All-wheel-drive variants typically read 1 to 3 MPG lower than the front-wheel-drive equivalent of the same engine, since the extra hardware adds weight and parasitic loss.
  • How does the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST compare to the best car in its class?
    The most efficient car in the Compact Cars class for the 2022 model year is the Porsche Taycan GTS at 83 combined MPG. The Porsche Taycan GTS ST returns 80 MPG, a gap of 3 MPG. If you are comparing on fuel economy alone, the class leader is worth a look.
  • What is the EV range of the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST?
    The EPA rates the 2022 Porsche Taycan GTS ST for 233 miles of electric driving range on a full charge. That covers most daily commutes and weekend trips without needing a top-up, but plan ahead for longer drives.
